Fished Lake Toho with 5" shiners and the bass were hitting like crazy. Largest one was 9.5 lbs.

I also fished Deer Creek with a #5 fly rod and had a ball. That's the only thing I miss this time of year are the shad runs both hickory and white. Caught a 6.5 lb white shad below Conowingo Dam.

I've caught fresh water carp in the Susquehanna River in Harford Co. Maryland. I was talking to 2 guys who had a few carp and questioned them as to why they are keeping them. The said that they scale and gut them and cut them into pieces. They boil them until the flesh is falling off the bones. They then strain the meat and add Old Bay and a few other spices and make fish cakes out of them. Said they taste just like crab cakes. I had baked fresh water carp cooked in tomato sauce and it was OK. Had it only once. As kids we use to keep them and trade them for ice cream at a Jewish deli. That was a long time ago.

Where in NC do you reside. I live in Calabash.

Had one just like it. Mine was a Pflueger.

I loaded my kayak on to my 4-Runner by myself. I can't think of the name of my rack right off but it had a bar that was tucked away on the left rear rack and it slid out about 3' . You put the bow on it and then lifting the stern and you just pushed it on the rack. Very easy.

Where in Maryland do you pay to fish.

How many wives would let you go fishing if you were in Paris. Show of hands.

They call them "Key West pork chops in the Carolinas.

Had an Osprey drop a fish on my front lawn one day. He caught it from a pond behind my house.

Where you located in Baltimore Rob?

Down here in Myrtle Beach SC we us a fish coating called "House of Autry" it's great.

I think you will have to get rid of every thing else in the frig.

I not only fished in the rain but when I lived in Maryland I fished thru the winder just below a power plant. Just had to keep the ice out of the rod eyes. Every 3-4 cast you had to chip it out. Caught plenty of yellow perch and a few large mouths.

What's wrong with a redneck. Just Sayin.
